Newey reveals ‘emotional’ F1 regret: ‘Not working with Fernando or Lewis’
Adrian Newey has been with Red Bull since 2006 and played a crucial role in their success, particularly during the early 2010s with Sebastian Vettel and now with Max Verstappen. Throughout his career, Newey has had the opportunity to work with F1 legends such as Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, and Mika Hakkinen. However, he has expressed regret about not getting the chance to work with Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, as well as not joining Ferrari, despite being close to doing so on multiple occasions. Newey reveals that discussions with Ferrari in 2014 were driven by frustration with Renault’s lack of commitment to producing a competitive engine for Red Bull. The former Renault CEO’s disinterest in F1 and lack of support left Newey feeling disillusioned.
